## What is BetterCast Display?

Requires a Mac. BetterCast Display is a receiver: it shows your Mac's screen on this device. You must install the free BetterCast Sender app on a Mac (bettercast.online) and have both devices on the same Wi-Fi network.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a high-performance wireless display for your Mac.

BetterCast streams your Mac screen to your iOS device with hardware-level encoding for near-zero latency at 60 FPS. Use it as a portable second monitor, a mirror for presentations, or a dedicated preview display — all without cables, dongles, or paid subscriptions.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-05

Touch input now works properly. Drag with one finger to move windows and select text, and double-tap to open items. Scrolling now follows your Mac's Natural scrolling setting.

Also improved: connecting no longer shows a black screen while the link is established, and each device keeps its position in your display arrangement between sessions.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-14

No release notes.
